I loved your first paragraph. Your words ring so true.

My favorite part of this awful, awful review, is when he mentions \”its filmmakers (most of whom have likely never been in battle)\” – really?

That just proves he should in no way be allowed near a computer to ever type a review again, even if he\’s right and the movie is terrible. The dumbest thing a reviewer can do is insinuate that because the filmmaker himself didn\’t experience the events, he can\’t make a movie about it (since that disqualifies most directors from every movie)

I can see Gabe\’s review of \”Schindler\’ list\” reading like

\”The filmakers, who are jewish (but likely have never experienced genocide firsthand)…\”

if Gabe is a troll, i\’m bringing my sleeping bag to his bridge.

i\’ll completely excuse his hyperbole when it\’s up against films that completely inundate us with their marketing at every aspect of our lives. shit, i see adds for Battle: LA on the boards when i play NHL 11 for christ sake!

fightin fire with fire.

I kinda figured. I watched a few clips online & the movie looked incomprehensible. Chopped to shit & terribly acted.

Shame since the trailers were so well done & original. But that\’s new age blockbusters- great marketing for soulless features.

I saw two clips a couple of weeks back and I said it then, \”this is going to suck and suck bad.\”

While I\’m sure this movie isn\’t going to be great, it\’s one in a long line of bad films – is probably one of the better ones. Get off your fucking soapbox.

There\’s no excuse for a retarded movie, popcorn or not.

Well on the plus side, at least it wasn\’t released in 3D…

And now I am excited to see this film! This looks like the perfect film for what it is – a fun popcorn film. If you are looking for a reason that film is dead watch the trailer for The Last Godfather.

how is it worse than say..transformer? at least this not based on a cartoon or action figure. i\’m laughing at myself for defending this movie. but i can think of worse.

And Gabe, don\’t worry if it opens decently.

Because it will drop off quickly.

Gabe\’s not the only one. Ebert just gave it half a star, which is his worst of the year so far.

Not \”a bit dramatic\” if you\’ve seen it.

Gabe is right on on this one. Battle LA is a wretched piece of shit.

wow. a bit dramatic?

I dislike Gabe\’s contribution to The Playlist as I find him to be a troll you normally see ranting on IMDB message boards but for once he makes some sense.

Having watched Battle: Los Angeles, it does not even qualify as escapist cinema like Independence Day when it takes a sombre approach to its juvenile material

3 words sum up this movie perfectly: piece of shit.

What a hell people…all of you sounds like a spoiled baby girl that want \”cool\” movies. Battle Los Angeles isnt a bad movie, and the game is loyal to the movie, what did you expect?? Battle: Los Angeles black ops?

Hahaha! What a crappy movie it\’s unbelievable. Again, World\’s policeman US, can destroy anything they want to. Shitty little soldiers with their inferior guns destroyed far superior enemy with almost no effort. Who in the hell made this POS movie?!! This looks like one of those cheap Marine Corps invitations for innocent and naive US youth. I am sure COD players will enjoy this movie… but only because they are as equally stupid as this movie… if not even stupider :)))

My wife and I saw this movie on Saturday night and we walked out with 30min to go. I can\’t remember the last time I walked out of a movie. BF-LA was worse than rotting alien flesh!!!
